[pct-l] Advice sought on lightway trek - um hm

[scourtway@xxxxxxxxxxxx (Steve Courtway)]

more trolls, eh Mr. Smallberries ?  General Advice:  wait for spring and hi=
t
the PCT.

We are all very glad you are a burly mountaineer, and can throw
all kinds of cool stats around like they were all able to fit in a G4.

It's rudimentary sir, the right tools for the right job.  Here in San Diego=
,
even these days (winter) we get away with running shoes, nylon socks,
tarps, down bags, etc., but sounds like you are going, well, off trail, to
say the least,
and we may need a bit more gear, now, won't we ?

hahahahahahahahahappy mountaineering Smallberries, I hope you actually even
go !
